Las Palmas: A new challenge for Atlético
Atlético de Madrid faces a new challenge in their visit to Las Palmas, a team that already demonstrated its ability to beat the Colchoneros last season. After 37 years of drought, UD achieved a memorable victory, and now they will seek to repeat the feat.
The opposing coach, Diego Martínez, has acknowledged the tactical richness of Atleti, but the Canary Islands squad is confident in their possibilities and knows the way to victory.
Although Simeone praised Las Palmas’ game after the previous defeat, the Rojiblanco team arrives with the intention of imposing their game and adding three vital points. The previous victory, with García Pimienta in charge, was driven by academy players Kirian and Benito, the authors of the goals.
Although they will not be available this time, the fighting spirit and the ambition to overcome Atleti remain intact. Winning would mean breaking a four-and-a-half-month streak without victories at home, but, as Diego Martínez rightly says, in football the important thing is to win the next game.
